YEAR 9 BUSHCRAFT - MOEYAN HILL 'INITIATION WALK'

Year 9 Bushcraft attended their first excursion Friday March 10, called their “initiation walk”. The group were privileged to be welcomed and culturally initiated by three elders from the Jerrinja Aboriginal Community; Aunty Grace Crossley, Aunty Jenny Wellington and Uncle Ron Crossley. We learned about the sacred location, how to respect and care for country and build new connections with each other and nature. The students are to be commended as their behaviour and respect was impeccable on the day.
